Super padded bikini tops?!

45 replies

Tessaraqt · 21/01/2020 14:26

Seriously flat chested - 30C ish. In bras this isn't a problem, I have so many wonderful bras that I can make my boobs look amazing. BUT I CANT FIND A BIKINI TOP THAT DOES THE SAME?!

Have a romantic weekend away with a jacuzzi booked for this weekend with new love interest, and the lack of good swimwear is killing me. Hardly any available in shops due to time of year, have ordered four different ones online, and in all of them my boobs look like fried eggs. I want the most padded bikini known to man - does such a thing exist, and if so, where?!!

For those on the app, I think pics work. The 2d (halterneck) pic is the best top I can find so far - its average and fine, and would do if it HAD to, but when my boobs look small I think it makes my hips look bigger so I really want my boobs bigger haaaa.

1st pic is how bras look - (IMO) so much better!

I’ve always managed to find super padded ones in primark! I found some good ones in la senza before too, but I think they’re long gone now!

latheritup · 21/01/2020 14:36

Victoria's Secret win for me!

okiedokieme · 21/01/2020 14:38

They are all really padded I have found (I have plenty of my own) just sent back one to figleaves because it was so padded

ginandgingers92 · 21/01/2020 14:41

I'd kill for 30C! 🙈 but another vote for primark! They do a 'boost your assets' range.

Jackthelovely · 21/01/2020 14:47

Yes definitely Primark for padded bikinis

Needadviceplz · 21/01/2020 14:49

30 c is not seriously flat chested lol

longcoffee · 21/01/2020 14:54

Ann Summers

cheesypeas123 · 21/01/2020 15:04

I agree 30c not flat chested! Second primark figleaves river island etc. OT what bra are you wearing in the first photo?

oohnicevase · 21/01/2020 15:14

Just see some chicken fillets into them .. you can get cheap on eBay and see a small pouch in so they are safe .
I don't think you are super flat chested though!

user3575796673 · 21/01/2020 15:17

Huh?!

Namestranger · 21/01/2020 15:17

"Seriously flat chested" Christ alive you'd have a fit if you saw me at the beach with my 34aas!

Reginabambina · 21/01/2020 15:21

What size bikini tops are you buying? It looks in your photo like you’re not properly supported, extra padding is not going to help you because you need fullness at the top of your breast. I would suggest eother going down a size or trying for a better style like a balconette cut.

FrangipaniBlue · 21/01/2020 15:34

I've got a couple from Next including some nice halter neck ones that have padding and underwire - they make my boobs look amazing Grin

Mystraightenersarebroken · 21/01/2020 17:00

OK. Firstly, 30C isn't seriously flat chested. Secondly, if you're hoping to get your top off at some point with the love interest surely you don't want to set yourself up for thinking 'OMG what's he/she going to think when they see my boobs in their natural state?'. Thirdly, Next are pretty good usually. Finally, in true Mumsnet style, are you sure you're a 30C? (I'm a 30DD and look similar).

Octopus37 · 21/01/2020 18:01

Another vote for Ann Summers, I am a 32D and got two fab bikinis, that make you look two sizes bigger.. Also might be worth looking at Boux Avenue

acatcalledjohn · 21/01/2020 18:04

Society has something to answer for when 30C is considered flat chested.

FWIW, I think your boobs look fab in the bikini. Very natural. This push up push together look that is popular just makes it look tacky IMHO.

34DD/E here. I'm tall so my boobs look small on my frame compared to yours.

MrOnionsBumperRoller · 21/01/2020 18:06

Ann Summers 2 sizes bigger.

DropZoneOne · 21/01/2020 18:07

Max Cleavage gel bikini

Octopus37 · 21/01/2020 18:09

Something like this perhaps from Boux Avenue, they haven't got it in a 30C, but they have got 32B and 32C. I am technically a 30 back (DD or E cup size), but find that 32s work in Ann Summers and Boux Avenue

Branleuse · 21/01/2020 18:13

google 2 cup sizes bigger swimwear

AgnesNaismith · 22/01/2020 08:16

Hmmm.....have you had a look at how to measure your chest properly? (Lots of threads on here) Not sure you’re a 34C! I used to think I was a 34B, the typical size most people get given in their teenage years at M&S but I’m actually a 30E and since having my new measurement all of my bras and bikinis actually fit and look nice.

PurpleDaisies · 22/01/2020 08:24

Society has something to answer for when 30C is considered flat chested.

I think this has everything to do with the op’s own insecurity and tithing to do with society.

I’ve had some really flattering bikinis from John Lewis own brand.

PurpleDaisies · 22/01/2020 08:24

Tithing should say nothing. Confused

canyon2000 · 22/01/2020 08:34

When the padding gets wet isn't that really uncomfortable?
